I am an Anglican minister in downtown Sydney. I have previously served in New York City, St Ives and Newcastle. Married. Four kids.

Also an argument that would *not* have worked in the Same Sex Marriage plebiscite. ‘Trust the law over the noise’. Can she hear herself? It’s dripping with irony.

“Anna Cody tells us to trust the law over the “noise”. But as one of the women being crushed by that law, I’m telling you the real noise is the ideological nonsense drowning out basic reality.”

@salltweets — Can you pin your giving page? #gigglevtickke

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@salltweets — where do we give?

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

The post makes total sense to this Anglican clergyman! :) Question, then — Can I ask what are the Roman or Eastern presuppositions that would have allowed him to get past his conclusion about Scripture?

[Rod Dreher @roddreher]

Not surprising that he ended up back in Protestantism when he began with Protestant presuppositions. If you judge Catholicism or Orthodoxy by Protestant standards, naturally they will fall short.

As an 8 year old in 1978, our teacher would make us sing songs here in Sydney, Australia and, in one of them, we were ‘taken by the hand through the Streets of London’. Living in sunny Sydney, I imagined only the worst in 1970s Britain. @holland_tom @dcsandbrook @TheRestHistory

know everyone makes mistakes. But the Royal family doing to Mass at Easter? Hasn’t happened for half a millennia. @australian @pwafork

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@jk_rowling Perfect. Hope this word reaches the person.

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

Done.

[Speak Life @SpeakLifeUK]

A massive thank you for your generosity so far!

@woolworths I sorted it out in the end. Thank you!

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@woolworths -- can I ask if your links are working. I tried to reset my password and the page went nowhere.

We are currently doing a series on the downfall of the Iranian monarchy and the coming to power of an Ayatollah. So odd to contemplate the possibility that, even as we record it, we are being overtaken by the exact reverse happening.

Question @TroyBramston — you say early on that Hawke would have torn up Kerr’s dismissal. Do you answer later the question - ‘what would have happened next?’ Do you have a theory, Troy? What would Kerr have done? Would Hawke have won??

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

Reading @TroyBramston’s biography on Gough Whitlam, having met his son last month serendipitously. One thing I’ve noticed so far (Chapter 5) is that Whitlam basically lived, like, everywhere.

[Prayer Book Society NSW @PBS_NSW]

Morning Prayer at St Philip’s @churchhillsyd, 7.30am Wednesdays in Advent. @jmoff led today, and an excellent homily from Isaiah 10:33-11:9 delivered by Matthew Peters. The last two verses of Ch. 10 provide interesting context for the better known and beautiful passage in Ch. 11.

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@holland_tom Free tomorrow, if you and @dcsandbrook are!

;)

Genuine Australian history. And are all these royal signatures all in one place anywhere else? Have a great rest of tour. Loving Elizabeth and Nazis.

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@holland_tom @dcsandbrook Not as exciting as the final session of the Perth test! But genuine Australian history. A fellow at the ABC reckons these two books are unique in this way: he knows of no other holy books present at the founding of a modern nation (or an Ancient one). St Philip’s on Church Hill.

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@holland_tom @dcsandbrook If ur staying in Sydney, you’d be welcome to view two books present on the First Fleet: the Rev Richard Johnson’s Bible and 1662 Book of Common Prayer, signed by Edward VIII, George VI, Elizabeth II and HM King Charles III + Diana. If walking past! DM :)

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

@mattwilcoxen Your final rejection of Pentecostalism! 🤣

[Capel Lofft @CapelLofft]

@dcsandbrook @holland_tom If we become like our Gallic vice-hound foes, then our victories are hollow

[Justin Moffatt @jmoff]

Question for @TheRestHistory Club @holland_tom @dcsandbrook: What is *new* about the King’s announcement today about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor? You wouldn’t say that royalty has been exemplary in matters sexual over the last 1000 years.
